RE: High compliance, low output MC?

I am enjoying it! It is very different sounding from my 103. The 301/II has more fine detail, does high frequency sounds better and probably sounds more "Hifi". It is a bit lean sounding but has very few hours on it and it is already improving. My well worn Zu 103 sounds more dynamic, bigger, but it overlooks some detail and has less finesse.

I do have an issue with the 301/II alignment. I am unable to get perfect overhang, I believe the custome mounting board hole for the Grace 707 is about 2mm too far away. So even with the 301at the very end of the arm, I could not get the overhang I wanted for several different alignment types. I got it as close as possible and then aligned on two null points as good as I could. VTF is 1.45g and the arm tube is essentially parallel. Even with the sub optimum alignment, distirtion appears low.

I got it from the ebay vender you suggested, it arrived fast in perfect new in box condition. I'll probably get a second one just to try on my main TT, I am slightly bored with the 103 (which I still do enjoy a lot) after having used various versions for 15+ years. I think that while the 103 sounds great and really is a LOT of cart for the money, you do give up some detail and subtleties.
